sprawl gflex

[TXTAPOUT]

does anyone know if the gflex shorts are legal to wear in any grappling tournaments? more specifically the NAGA tournaments?

 

[Kormara]

Indeed they are legal

 

[TXTAPOUT]

awesome. i holed out on getting some because i knew it was up in the air to if it was going to be legal for grappling tournaments

a lot out tourneys don't even check your shorts.

Was interested in this also. I figured they would be tho, seeing as how most people don't even know Sprawl makes these shorts yet.

ya i figure ill get a pair and ask them about them during the weigh ins to see if they are legal or not

You'll have to check in with the specific tourney, but I believe that they are legal. I have a hard time thinking that Sprawl would make something that wasn't - but I could be wrong.

ya well i know when they first came out a lil while ago it was up in the air to if they were going to be legal or not. but i cant see why they would be illegal.

Well, it's a lot like a wide receiver having stick-um on his gloves. It was initially legal as no one knew about it.

Today it is quite illegal.

I thought that I posted a while back that I saw these all over the NAGAs in Columbus last month?

These have been brought to the attention of several athletic commissions at our request so they are not an unknown.

I saw them all over at the arnold and a few UFC / WEC fights now so im sure they are aware of the shorts and obviously there is no issue. Also they are some of the lightest...best shorts i have worn thus far.
